Combine the onion, garlic, vinegar and soy sauce in the bottom of the slow cooker insert.

Dice the chicken into 1 to 1 1/2 inch chunks and toss in the marinade.

Toss to coat.

Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours.

For a Thicker Sauce (right in the crockpot):

30 minute before serving turn the crock pot to high. Stir and tilt the lid to allow evaporation. The sauce will slightly thicken.

For a Quicker Thick Sauce:

Follow the directions above but ladle out at least half the liquid.

Heat over medium-high heat in a wide-bottomed saucepan or skillet. Bring to a boil then turn down to low. Stir every minute or two until the sauce thickens (about 10 minutes).

Freezer Meal Prep:

Prep the ingredients as directed and toss into a large freezer bag. Label and freeze for up to 6 weeks.

Other Versions for Chicken Adobo

As promised, you can make chicken adobo in the oven or in the skillet.

Nagi’s version of chicken adobo is for skillet cooking. She calls her’s Chicken Adobo Flavour Kapow. And with the sauce she’s created I can totally see why :)

Her version is a lot like ours but adds a few more spices and cooks up on the stovetop. So when you’re in a hurry, this is a great way to go.

Budget Bytes’ version is a double method. It starts in the skillet and then goes under the broiler in your oven. They also use a completely different combination of sauces and spices. I think this version would be much sweeter. So if you like your chicken on the sweet side, this might be the version for you.

By using the stovetop-oven method, you’ll get that crispy, slightly charred yumminess that only the broiler can accomplish.

OR if you’d rather make it in your crockpot but want a thicker sauce quickly, you can do a “quick reduction”.

That sounds fancy and difficult. It isn’t either. Nor does it take a long time. Only about 10 minutes. And if you’re serving this yumminess over rice, you can prep the rice at the same time. OR you can also cook up some crock pot rice in a second slow cooker or have it frozen. Whatever works for you :)
